Bojji (Ousama ranking) papercraft


Here he is! The cute little »giant« prince from the awesome anime »Ousama ranking« aka »Ranking of kings«. Love the anime, since it's so different and with special animation and an awesome story that drew me in from episode 1., so I was especially motivated to do this open commission.  

As mentioned, this papercraft was made as a commission for somebody, and they allowed me to make it into an open, re-sold papercraft. The papercraft idea was actually based off an already existing papercraft from a Chinese designer, which the commissioner wanted to be copied. And since I never make actual 100% same copies of ANY design whatsoever, and I explained that to the commissioner as well, they were fine for me to make this papercraft into a special design that fits my esthetics and model it the way I think it looks best. And the result can be seen as this preview :)

The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and has 15 pages all in all. The template has 3 different separate Bojji-ouji papercrafts (in a happy pose, a sitting and eating pose that can be sat on the log, and a waving and standing pose with his green travelling cape), a separate 3D stand with 2-sided grass, a separate log that is simply glued or put on the stand, a super simple 3D design of Kage (Shadow), his best friend and demon, and a 2D meat you can put in his eating pose hands. All the Bojji papercraft are made in the same simple style, a 2D crown that is just glued on, same as his 2-sided hands that are simply glued on the stumps of his arms, the hair in the front that is glued on the back head and stands apart from the face, and the other 3D simple body. The 3rd Bojji also has his green cape, that is a simple 2D 2-sided design that is glued on his neck part. Really simple design, made to be assembled in an easy way, with no smaller or fiddly parts.

I am super excited to get 1 of these Bojji-ouji papercrafts assembled for myself, since I really want to display this in my papercraft display-case! Then you’ll also be able to see how it looks built, since it’s really adorable XD

If you don’t know the anime yet, WHY DO YOU NOT KNOW IT? :D Seriously, easily the best anime that came out last year and I really recommend it to anybody that loves anime. It’s really fun and special.

Since I got so much work to do, and it always takes effort to find time to assemble my papercrafts (though I really want to speed it up but can't... 1 person can only do so much work alone), it’s still far off from being photographed and posted in my gallery. But I do hope you like it till now and you’ll wait to see the finished result till then and maybe give it a go yourselves.

Enjoy and happy crafting~
